UPDATE - NOT PICTURED BUT INCLUDED ARE A BRAND NEW POP TOP TENT IN YELLOW, ELECTRONIC IGNITION CONVERSION (INSTALLED), ALL NEW SEALS FOR THE POP TOP, SPARE TIRE MOUNT FOR THE FRONT OF THE BUS AND SPARE TIRE COVER IN BLACK.

Very nice 1971 VW Westfalia Campmobile for sale. Very solid bus underneath, no rust in the engine bay, battery compartment, footwells, or any other of the usual places.

The interior sports the original burnt orange cushions. The bench cushions are in great shape and the rear cushion is about average with some marks on the underside from sitting in a barn for years, but still in very usable condition. The original picnic stool is also included.

The original cot is installed, but there is currently no pop-tent installed. The photos do not show the rubber seals on the pop top, but they are now installed. The seal on the front bay window is new.

The white paint is satisfactory for a daily driver, but you will want to respray her and replace all the seals while you are doing it if you want to do a full on restoration.

The engine and clutch are recently rebuilt. New parts also include rear half shafts (axles), new disc brake rotors, pads and calipers up front, new brake drums and pads in back. Also new KYB gas shocks all around, new Hankook tires (the best for buses), steering damper, tie rods, and lots of little plastic parts.

So what doesn't work? Right now I'm sorting out the electrical things that have issues, but there aren't a lot of them. The hazard lights work, but the directional signals don't work properly. The fuel gauge does not work at all. (the tank was removed and recoated when the engine was rebuilt so it may be the sender unit) One of the rear lights glows brightly as if the brakes were on all the time, but the other is fine. The front seats are a little shabby but I have some cool Hawaiian covers for them if you want them.

1971 was the first year for front disc brakes and the last year for the upright 1600cc engine. This puppy runs great, is a real hoot to drive and all the camper stuff is there except the fabric for the pop top.

Please email any questions. Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash

Thu, 11 Oct 2012

After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.

Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.
